Dallas fashion blogger over 40 modeling summertime date night looks

Happy Summer beauties!  I love summertime because the sun is shining brighter which means warmer temps are upon us, both of which make for perfect patio weather!  I don’t know about you but when I go out in the summertime whether it’s on a romantic date with my hubby or a fun girl’s night out I always love to sit outside.  When it’s this hot out, and trust me when I say I know what hot summers are like since I’m from Dallas, getting dressed can be a challenge.  I mean we all want to look chic and stylish even when it’s crazy hot outside.
In today’s post, I’m sharing 5 fabulous summertime date night looks that are guaranteed to keep you looking and FEELING ultra chic and tastefully sexy!  The best part, most of these looks are super affordable which means you can upgrade your going out looks without breaking the bank!

SHOP THE LOOK (TOP AND SKIRT ARE EACH UNDER $60):

RIBBED HALTER TANK:

I personally think that what you choose to wear can totally set the tone for a night out, so it’s no wonder why my first summertime date night look features this sexy tank. The cut and style of this top are the perfect balance of sexy and sophisticated and for only $37, you can’t go wrong! I’m wearing an XS in this tantalizing tank.

BLACK MIDI SKIRT:

This black midi skirt has the perfect relaxed vibe to balance out the sexy edge of the ribbed halter tank. It is made with a fantastic crinkle material that is not only comfortable but also helps to hide any potential problem areas. It comes in ivory as well as black, and has a amazing price point of only $52! I’m wearing a US 4 which fits like a 0-2 for size reference.

YSL RAFFIA CROSSBODY BAG:

My YSL raffia bag is by far my most often worn bag in the summer time. My exact bag is unfortunately sold out so I’m recommending this one from Saks. It is the same size and style, just a slightly different color – but equally as fabulous!

SHOP NOW

BUDGET-FRIENDLY VERSION:

If the YSL bag is a bit more of an investment than you are prepared for right now, I’ve discovered a fantastic dupe to this designer bag. This leather shoulder bag from Aimee Kestendberg is very similar is size and color, but it features more of a square shape than the YSL bag. I personally think no matter which you choose, either bag will end up being your summertime go to!

FREE PEOPLE BODYSUIT (UNDER $100):

My next summertime date night look features this truly fabulous body suit by Free People. The plunging v-neck line design is showcased on both sides which means you look just as chic from the back as you do from the front! It is available in 3 colors but this wine color is by far my favorite and is sure to turn up the heat at your next rendezvous.

SHOP THE LOOK (TOP AND SKIRT ARE EACH UNDER $100):

YELLOW ONE SHOULDER TOP:

This one shoulder crop top combines so many hot trends it’s obvious why it’s being featured on my list of summertime date night looks. This soft to the touch cropped top is guaranteed to be a flattering addition to any outfit, thanks to the all-over ruching detail and the gorgeous soft color. It comes in 7 different colors, but this beautiful soft yellow just happens to be on sale right now! I’m wearing an XS with the matching skirt but it would look amazing with a killer pair of denim as well!

SHOP NOW

YELLOW RUCHED SKIRT:

I can’t tell you how much I loved styling this matching skirt with the crop top above. The pieces can definitely stand alone by themselves, but they are simply stunning when paired up. The high waist on the skirt makes this look very age appropriate while still channeling some seriously sultry vibes. I’m wearing an XS and it is available in a variety of colors to suit any preference.

PINK HALTER TOP:

Outfit #4 on my list of summertime date night looks is another versatile skirt and top set that can be worn together or separately. The wrap design is pure elegance but it also allows just enough skin to show to bring a sexy edge to this look. I can’t forget to mention how the ribbed material makes this top look far more expensive than it really is. I’m wearing an XS for size reference.

SHOP NOW

PINK MIDI SKIRT:

The matching skirt to the top above is made of the same luxe material and also features a high waist to compensate for the cropped style of the top. I especially love the fit of the skirt, it truly hugs my curves in all the right places and makes me feel so confident and sexy when I wear it! I’m wearing an XS in this stunning date night skirt.
